vinesqueen 2 Posted October 27, 2005 well, among other things, a firkin a British unit of capacity used especially in the brewing industry, equal to nine U.K. gallons, a small wooden tub, and a measurement for butter and soap, much like carrats are measurments of gem stones. I'm just sort of feeling lately like the way we weigh is so arbritrary, I figured that I would seek out new and interesting ways to track my weight. Last week I went with atomic weight, this week it's firkins, who knows what I'll choose next??? Heck, I don't even know As for fitday, well, even at my goal I'll still be severely overweight, so who cares what they say anyway! My Spudboy will be out next week and my DH will be here the following weekend! WooT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
